Life's music is never perfect without the chord of pain. Happiness is never found by dodging my neighbour's sorrows. Instead of the strength of your faith being marked by the length of your sighs, the genuineness of your religion is to be known by its joyfulness.
The rebels had a battery of three guns, with which they were constantly dodging from one point to another, always taking good care, however, to keep out of reach of the gun-boats.
She had gone from one golden-rod clump to another until she had traversed nearly the length of the field. Then the vicious creature had appeared from behind a knoll in the pasture and, head down and bellowing wickedly, had rushed upon her. When the captain reached the far-off fence, the little girl was dodging from one dwarf pine to the next, with the cow in pursuit.
A lamppost nearer, they ceased the mad, dodging chase and engaged in earnest conversation. A hundred yards from the Fletcher house, footsteps lagged to an astonishing degree and an air of lassitude overcame them that was inexplicable in view of recent activities. The boys mounted the front steps wearily. John pressed the bell as if the act consumed the last atom of strength in his arm.
In order to do that he was going to have to change his slave status when the proper time came. He was developing a certain facility in dodging Ch'aka's heavy boot, the work was never hard and there was ample food.
"Walter," Rupert repeated, lifting himself on one hand, "Walter have you seen him?" "Over there," said the general, nodding towards the right. "He was dodging and creeping about for all the world like some poaching rascal.

"You are marvellous, my friend," he declared. "With all these resources of science at your command, it seems incredible that you should be in the position you are." Quest nodded coolly. "I'll get out of that all right," he asserted confidently. "The only trouble is that while I am dodging about like this I cannot devote myself properly to the task of running down this fiend of the Hands.
If he didn't catch Whitefoot, he would simply go hungry a little longer. So you see, there was a very big difference in the feelings of Whitefoot and Butcher. Whitefoot had his life to lose, while Butcher had only a dinner to lose. Dodging this way and dodging that way, Whitefoot climbed higher and higher. Twice he whisked around that tree trunk barely in time.
He must have had it very badly when, dodging behind his captain he wondered aloud: "What can that fellow want with us?" . . . A naked man standing in a freezing blast and trying not to shiver could not have spoken with a more harshly uncertain intonation. But it might have been fever a cold fit. "He wants to make himself disagreeable, simply," said Jasper, with perfect good humour.
Two minutes were up before he was got in the saddle, Pollux rearing and plunging and dancing in a circle, the grooms shouting and dodging, and his Grace cursing in a voice to wake the dead and Mr. Fox laughing, and making small wagers that he would never be mounted. But at last the duke was up and gripped, his face bloody red, giving vent to his fury with the spurs.
